About

With 20 years of experience in startups, mobile, commerce, social commerce, and fintech, I am the founder of EximPe, a B2B cross border payments and trade finance platform for SME exporters and importers. My mission is to empower SMEs to access global markets, reduce transaction costs, and improve cash flow. Previously, I was the CEO and co-founder of Wooplr, India's first social commerce platform, which enabled over 300,000 resellers to earn by selling products from 2000+ local and global vendors to over 10 million customers in tier 2/3 cities. I raised $13 million from key marquee investors and built a global team of over 150 employees across eight locations. I also invested and advised various startups in health, education, and agriculture sectors. I am passionate about building for Bharat 2030, leveraging technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship to create positive social and economic impact.
